3.C. School Board report of progress toward required training of Continuing Education.
Description:
In 2007, the legislature added an additional requirement to the Education Code that says, “The minutes of the last regular meeting of the board of trustees held during a calendar year must reflect whether each trustee has met or is delinquent in meeting the training required to be completed as of the date of the meeting.” Most of the training that is required is not tied to completion by a particular date, so the report at the December meeting would primarily serve as a progress report on training the board members have received since the last announcement of training compliance (made when the previous election was called.) Exceptions might be that a new board member who took office more than 60 days from the date of the meeting would have to have completed the local district orientation as required in TAC §61.1. (b)(1)(a) , or a board member who was appointed in December of the previous year would have to have completed all of the training required to be completed in the first year of service.
|
3.D. Consider/Approve Update 86 affecting Local Policies.
Description:
Most of the policies are Legal changes and adjustments to current law. The board cannot change any of the Legal Policies but does have the option on making adjustments and changes to any of the Local Policies. TASB has recommendations for the Local Policies and these recommendations conform and meet the letter of the law while maintaining some local control and discretion. I am recommending that we adopt Update 86.
